I’ll soon be an MSc holder and there isn’t a day I think about it without thinking of the originator of it all: my mother.
The one who championed my education & enlightenment, believed education could take me places & made sure I had every chance to find out.
It paid off, mama❤️
@Dante_kariss@Kamau266 😅As a luo lady who almost had a future with a Kamau, this is the most accurate response I have seen as to what was going on there. We are only tribeless hapa kwa mtandao.
This is it
We are loud. We are radiant. We embody confidence.
Our culture, our songs, us as women.

This is who we are its beautiful. Even how we mourn so deliberate and beautiful and expressive.
I love who we are!
Sigweya!
